Final Fantasy VIII is known for many things, and it has the strangest pool of character weapons for the main characters out of all the Final Fantasy Games. Which one of these weapons are conventionally the dumbest weapon? Here's my case for each:
Squall (Gunblade) - Gun = Fine, Sword = No problem. Together you have a unbalanced melee weapon with an awkward grip.
Rinoa (Blaster Edge) - Is it a shuriken, is it a boomerang. What happens if it gets lodged in the enemy or doesn't come back to Riona. Girl u'd be ded.
Zell (Gloves) - More traditional weapon, sure. But do you really want to go and punch a t-rex or a dragon in the face?
Quistis (Whip) - Another traditional weapon, but considering the futuristic theme of this game what's the chances you'll come up against a robot or something that the whip doesn't affect?
Selphie (Nunchaku) - They are nunchucks.
Irvine (Shotgun) - Hired sharpshooter hired for sniping. Uses short range weapons.
Laguna (Machine Gun) - Legit usable weapon. Don't vote for this.
Kiros (Katar) - It's kind of like a sword, but not. What does Kiros do if he doesn't need something dead with these equipped. Like to scratch his nose. Can't do it.
Ward (Harpoon) - Throw harpoon, run to get harpoon. Throw Harpoon again. Why? Just Why?
